The Defense Department has named retired Air Force Gen. Lester Lyles as the vice chairman of the Defense Science Board. The former commander of the Air Force Materiel Command will serve with former DOD acquisition and technology czar Paul Kaminski, who was just named DSB chairman. Lyles will serve through December 2010.
As the Space Force races to embrace the space control mission, one of its acquisition arms is expanding its efforts to match—and planning to go from just developing payloads to flying satellites.
